      Also to add that Raisin was groomed to take his place, and apparently the guy Raisi was grooming to take his was also in the helicopter.

      Khamenei is 85 years old.

        That is actually pertinent information. If the supreme leader is seen as weak at 85, and the next two steps on the ladder are now vacant… Well let’s just say that nature abhores a vacuum.

          In the coming days we’ll see the course. Last year there were feminist revolts and protests, many women and girls were executed for them.

If anything is going to change for the better it’s likely going to involve some assassinations
